HORRIBLE HOLOCAUST.
Two Hundred Persons Burned to Death
in u London Fire.

a London dispatch of the 5th says: A
theater at Exeter took fire this evening du-
ring the performance of "Romany Rye.
The occupants Of the pit escaped after an
awful struggle, but many Of them were
greatly injured. There was only one exit
from the gallery and the crush there was
terrific Scores were trodden under foot
and sufocated. A fire escape was brought
to window and many inside were rescued.
The fire blazed fearfully, lighting up the
whole city.
People were soon Aocking to the scene
by thousands inquiring for their friends.
Tbs scene inside the theater when the fire
broke out was an awful one. Some men
implored the audience to be calm, but it
was imp ossible to check the frantic rush.
The theater hose was put into use in few
minutes, but the water had little effect on
the flames. The actors and actresses were
teken from the windows with the aid of
ladders. They lost everything except
what they wore at the time.
One hundred and thirty dead bodies
were recovered Monday night and the fire
burned until Tuesday morning. Two hun.
dred persons probably perished in the
flames. The bodies were almost unrecog
nizable. The search for the bodies pro-
ceeded slowly In many cases every par
ticle Of clothing was burned off, and the
bodies looked black and raw.
There are various reports as to the orig
in Of the fire. 1t is only certain that the
flames broke out in the scenery shifters
department. Those who made their es
cape say that the special exit was opened.
The fire brigade arrived five minutes after
the breaking out Of the flames, but the ef
forts Of the fircmen were without effect.
1t is very probable that the total number
Of lives lost will never be known owing
to the fact that many bodies were com
pletely calcined. The London papers in
commenting on this horrible holocaust
unite in saying that this disaster suggests
a culpable disregard Of the teachings OF ex.
perience.
The London News says: 1t is safe to
say that one effect Of this awful disaster
will be general law governing the con-
struction and management Of public places
throughout the kingdom. After this acci.
dent and that Of the Opera Comique in
Paris, it ought surely to require no more
warning.

Wasting Eodder.

A few days since a neighbor with whom
we were Ia king concerning cutting
the corn before the frost came. made
this remark: "lou won't care so much
for fodder this year as you have before,
you have so much hay" The corn was a
little green to cut for getting the most
and best of the grain. and the very
abundant hay crop suggested the though;
that the corn-fodder would not be abso-
lutely necessary to get the stock through
the winter as it had sometimes been be-
fore, and so one need not be as careful in
saving it. To the careful, prudent farm
er there is no need of saying that such a
course would be most unwise and
wasteful one. The habit of saving
should be formed. Save not because
one specially needs it at the time
or in the near future, but be-
cause waste is a crime against nature
The lack of care of crops after they are
grown is a double waste. Not only has
one lost the use of his capital (the use of
his landl, but he has lost the labor he
has already put into the crop, the manure,
the plowing, the planting ard hoeing as
well, and is careless of the kind Provi-
dence which has given the favorable sea-
son and made the crop possible. No
jndicious man will be less careful in
saving all he has raised, or in careful and
iudicious feeding because his harvest
has been more abundant than usual, or
more than his immediate necessities de-

How to Stack straw Properly.

Whenit is possible, the farmer should
stack his own straw, or employ some man
TO stack il for him who will do it well Ii
hands are secured by changing work, it
is well for two to agree TO stack each
others straw. In any case, one man
should be detailed 10y the owner to stack
the straw and should be provided with
enough helpers TO enable him to do a
good Job. The foreman of the stack
should lay out the bottom so as to get as
nearly the proper size as possible. This
is often very hard to do at the start, esre-
cially when threshing from the shock,
and 1t requires practice TO Judge cor
rectly. Old threshing- men often
acquirea good eye for determining how
large the stack should be made. and they
should be consulted. If the foundation
Is made two, large. the stack will be fiat
when it has settled, and if made too
small, the stack is run so high that a part
must be showed off at one side. where il
is too often allowed to spoil. In build
ing large stacks, it is preferable to make
them quite long rather than too wide, to
shed rain well. The foreman should
direct where the straw is TO be
laid, and where the tramping is tC
be done. In building the outside OF
the stack, he should stand at the outer
end of the line Of pitchers and place the
straw himself. The sides should be rur
straight up to about one-half the height
the stack is TO be when complete, and
then drawn in at an angle of from forty
five to sixty degrees.
The tramping should be done mainly il
the center under the ridge of the stack
as this part will support the creates

A Few Rear Tales.

A bear weighing 500 pounds was
killed on Flint River, near Albany, Ca,
by the citizens, who never saw a bear in
that neighborhood before.
Daniel O'Connell, of Stamford, VT,
was attacked by a bear near North
Adams, Mass, and was being badly
worsted, when his dog interfered and he
managed to escape. The dog has not
been seen since.
A man was going over the Rocky Mount
aims for pine logs, driving a wagon.
On the top of large rock by the side of
the road was young bear, the mother
having started up the mountain on the
approach of the team. The cub not
moving, the mother came bounding back
TO it, and giving it a nudge with her
nose started up the mountain again, ex-
pecting the cub to follow. But the lit
lie one made no move. The old bear
then came back the second time, and
taking up the cub in her paws gave him
several cuffs. The cub then obeyed
olders and followed the old bear in a
gallop up the side of the mountain.
A passenger train on a Florida railroad
stopped some fifteen miles from Cedar
Keys - prevent collision with some cat
tie when a black bear came trotting
leisurely out of the woods, climbed upon
the platform of a car, and entered the
express room, where he found three
strings of fish and some bacon, all of
which went quickly into his NAV. When
the train started up the swaying of the
car shut the door. The bear soon became
tired of his ride, and looked about for
means of egress. Nothing appeared SO
vulnerable TO attack as the windows In
the side of the car, which were protected
by iron rods about half an inch in di.
ameter. He selected one of these, caught
two OF three of the iron rods with his
paws, and, giving them a hug, broke
and twisted them off clean. His body
was then forced through the aperture and
struck the ground like a rubber ball
He turned two or three somersaults anC

Water i'm Butter.

While salt will readily dissolve at fifty
degrees, it is not easy to get the butter
free from the surplus water, and it is by
this needless water that much injury is
done TO butter. Fifty-fve degrees would
be better, and salt the butter at sixty de-
grees. Water is great solvent of case
Inc and sugar-traCeS of which will be
found in all butter, however well worked
-but the more water remaining after
wolking over, the greateri the chemical
action. and acting upon the minute par
ticles of curd or cheese, it becomes rancid
by well known chemical action. Butter
should not contain more water than is
necessary to dissolve what salt it will re-
tain in the form of brine, and fourteen
per cent. seems to be about the amount.
More water than this dilutes the brine,
and defeats by so much the object of the
use of salt in butter-to preserve the
caseine from chemical change-nor
can be accomplished save in a temperature
below fifty degrees. In the usual cream
cry butter, and all that made by cold
setting, the maker often unintentionally
leaves more than twenty per cent. of water
IN butter, not understanding that butter
made from cream slightly acid, retains
more moisture than that made from
sourer cream. The souring breaks up
the texture of the cream, and the butter
separates better from the buttermilk.
Then all the butter-maker needs to do is
to churn the ripened cream at lower
temperature than is needed for sour. to
, use salt each time in washing it free
from buttermilk, and when the regula-
tion amount of salt is used TO season the
butter, let it dissolve, and then by gently
working and packing, know that the
butter is free from any excess of water
above fourteen per cent. Then if kept
below fifty degrees, and away from the
influence of the air, butter made from
soured milk must keep well. american

Short Stories About Animals.

A Frenchman rode into Waterville,
Me-, with big Newfoundland dog
hitched to a two-wheeled cart, which the
animal had hauled in three days $50
miles.
There is a white horse at Roscommon,
Mich, that visits a saloon daily for its
glass of beer and gets it, Another white
horse at Bay City takes trips on a tobog-
gan slide and enjoys them.
A horse at Reading, Penn, stepped
upon a little dog that was barking at it
in the street, but, Immediately bending
down his head, began licking the little
sufferer, and uttered sounds of genuine
sorrow.
At fox hunt near Tolona, H., the
dogs forced gray fox up tree, but the
hunters would not shoot, preferring to
have him taken by the hounds. A boy
climbed the tiee to force Reynard out,
but when he dropped he eluded the dogs,
and found shelter in a hole. One dog
followed him, got the game by the nose,
and pulled him out, but the fox watched
1 his chance, made the dog lose his grip,
dashed away, and made good his escape.

FARM AND GARDEN.
Destructiveness of Insects.

In recent lecture Professor A. ].
Cook, in discussing the rapid increase
of injurious insects, said There are two
prominent reasons why insects are so in
creasing in numbers, and in their ravages.
First, as is true with the cutworms, the
locusts and the curculio, we are destroy
ing their native food plants, and they are
rapidly learning year by year that our cul-
tivated plants are just as wholesome, and
even more tooihsome, than their old all
ment which we have ruthlessly destroyed.
Again, we are constantly introducing
new insect pests from over the sea, which
prove to he more destructive than in
their old homes, and more than rivals
for our native insects with like habits.
The codling moth, currant slug and
clover root-borer are apt illustrations of
these unwelcome foreigners.

A ChIld,s Hair Turning Gray.

There lives In Troy, Mo-, little girl
about eight years old, whose hair is al
most an iron gray, and is rapidly and
perceptibly growing grayer, and the
present indications are that long before
she reaches womanhood her once raven
black hair will have become snow-white.
Some three years ago the child was
frightened almost into convulsions by q
fire which broke out in the part Of the
town where she lived The morning
after the fire tho mother noticed {
change in the child's hair. II had beer
cut off many times in the vain hope thai
new hair would come in black. Tn,
gray hairs increase all the time, and sh,
will soon have a venerable-looking head
on pair of young shoulders.

Is Fall Plowing Advisablep

Opinions of Good farmers differ upon
this point. Some argue that because a
portion of the finest of the soil may be
blown from the plowed portions that
there is a loss of plant food. This must
be very slight, however, and the adioin-
ing fields upon which it lodges are cor
respondingly benefited. The action of
the sun, rain, and frost upon the soil ex-
posed to the air upon fall-plowed fields
will probably liberate and render availa-
BILE much greater amonnt of plant food
than will be removed by the wind. Ex-
cepting upon hillSidcs, which are liable to
be washed by fall rains, and certain light
soils, it will be found much more protita-
able to prepare the ground for wheat and
oats in the tall when there is not usu-
ally such a rush of work as in the
spring. The team is generally in much
better condition for hard work in the
fall than in April or May. Culticator.

shingles, and as the stack settles most
around the edges they remain in that po-
sition, shedding the rain much better
than If the stack is kept level and
tramped the most around the edges. The
stack should be built up uniformly to the
top and not topped out one end at time.
A stack built by system and plan will not
settle down in places and let the rain run
into holes. making rotten cores reaching
to the ground, as is often found to be the
case in straw-piles.
